Ayman al-Zawahiri, has been captured and jailed in
Tehran, a leading Iranian newspaper reported yesterday.

Zawahiri, the founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad,
was arrested several days ago and has been imprisoned in the city's Evin
jail, where political prisoners are usually held, the Hayat-e-Nou newspaper
said.

The paper is regarded as reliable and is run by Hadi
Khamenei, a leading legislator and the brother of Iran's supreme leader,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Who is Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, whose brother Zaiman
is running terrorist camps under NATO protection in the U.S. zone in Kosovo?

As the London Guardian wrote recently:

"Even to say he is bin Laden's right-hand man
may understate his importance."

He is considered by many to be the real head of what
is known as the bin Laden group.

"Some analysts believe that in his current role
in Afghanistan, al-Zawahiri has taken over control of much of bin Laden's
terrorist finances, operations, plans, and resources," wrote the Guardian.

His known terrorist career started no later than 1981,
with his involvement in the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat;
it includes the massacre of 70 people on a tourist bus in 1997 Luxor, Egypt,
and the assassination attempt against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in
1995.

Strangely enough, according to January 2000 U.S. Congressional
testimony, al-Zawahiri was granted U.S. residence by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service - something almost impossible for many legitimate
immigrants to obtain.

Should we be surprised that one of the centers
of operation for al-Zawahiri was London, where one of his closest relatives
resided? President Mubarak is believed to have referred to him when, after
the Luxor massacre, he stated: "There are people who carried out crimes
and who were sentenced [in Egypt] and live on British soil."
